Is it possible to transfer various settings of one user to another?

A. Copy a user account to another with WET (MVP Jimmy Brush)

Simply pretend that your administrator account is the "old computer" and
your new user account is the "new computer". Also, make sure you manually
specify what files to transfer, and only select the files under the admin
user profile - you obviously don't need to transfer files that are outside
of the admin user profile, since they will be staying the same.

B. Other method:

1. Create the new user account and at least one extra account with
administrative privileges.
2. Log into the new user account and then log into the extra account.
3. Control Panel>System>Advanced>User Profiles>Settings
4. You will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the old account to
the new one from there. Use the Browse to select your new account (C
\Users\newaccount).
